Mortality censuses were compiled
at ten year intervals from 1840 until 1880. Each census covered deaths
occurring from June 1, 1879 thru May 31, 1880. Because of the number of
items of information for each individual (17 columns) we have left some of them
out here to conserve space. Two of the columns omitted are the father's
place of birth and mother's place of birth. In most cases the parents were
born in the same state as the deceased. Separate columns were used to
denote whether single, married, widowed or divorced but we have lumped them
together here under "Marital" and are using letters instead of typing out the
whole word (s=single; m=married; d=divorced; w=widowed). We also left out
the column entitled "If disease was not contracted at place of death, then state
the place." The "Residence" column denotes how long the deceased was a
resident of the county and if less than one year it is given in fractions, i.e.
3/12.
